Join the best – THE #1 IN WIRES

wire Duesseldorf is the world’s leading trade fair for the wire and cable industry. As the premier international meeting point for wire manufacturers and processors, the No. 1 wire and cable event showcases the latest technology and developments in Duesseldorf every two years. Whether the most modern machines for the production of fine wire or for the lacquering of copper wires; whether wire sheathing, spooling and respooling of cables and wires or winding machines for coil production, wire presents the future of wire and cable technology. Synergies will be generated by the world’s leading international tube and pipe trade fair, Tube, to be held at the same time and in parallel with the wire trade fair.
